Stüsslingen issues urgent water conservation appeal due to drought

Persistent drought has caused spring yields to drop to critically low levels in the Rohr district of Stüsslingen, Solothurn. Because the local water supply relies entirely on these specific spring captures, there is a significant risk that the sources could dry up completely, leaving the area without its own drinking water.

The municipality has issued an urgent appeal for residents to reduce water consumption immediately. Recommended conservation measures include running dishwashers and washing machines only when full, prioritizing showers over baths, limiting garden irrigation to essential areas, and refraining from cleaning vehicles or outdoor spaces. The local works commission is calling for individual responsibility to help preserve the remaining resources.
